Harry Is the owner. Mi ln ay, of a young mule Ttii mull' Waine famou in tbe conn try's hitory through it gallant service in the Oregon nd Washington Indian war.

After the clow of the l.itler war it was for neveml vear t alluded nt Fort Canity It wa while the mule was patiently nd aeIoulv serving the best govern ment on earth at that place that Harry heil it remnrkable hixtory and de termiiicd to purfhaM" and pension the fuithful rn-ature w hi. h lie did. And now come the political part of hi pathetic olory a told by the indlK limit Ilurrvt "That muli i a reiiuli ------- ' Ji,-an," he naid and. a no on presumed c (m..i,in Hie nuil- poinnal ainns i . lion, he plislaimeil: "And I sin a r.-niitiliruii." After ill in con fen ii in he auaint miii-id but at there was only a nut row ful kilence, he agHln proceeded: ".Vow you nil know that Billy Akeers it n republican and wan elected by n publican vote and what did he do!" No one ventured to gticmt and he eon tinned: "Whv lie went nml appointed Mcu Wylie. n democrat. hi deputy." The mnllcr wn becoming so serious by this time tlmt not a noul dared to commit himtelf by a word and Harry continued hi monologue: "And what did Steve Wylie do! Why he ne.ted that poor young and inno cent mule, that had faithfully served it country for more than 60 years nt $5 and now I've got to pay tnxe on it ii well n it neiifion. Now what do you think of that!" liv this time the matter had become so unexpectedly seriou that none felt like expressing hi real thought but a few, pertinent suggestions were made and a number of questions were asked with a view of an amicable arrange ment and to pacifying Mr. Johnson One man suggested that if the mule was no better republican that Steve Wylie wa a democrat, It ought to be sent to the reform school. Another aked if the mule wa born a republican or its mind had been corrupted through Its army associations. Another suggested that the mule be taken before the board of equalization and allowed to do its own kicking. However, ull this failed to placate Mr. Johnson and he refused to be comforted until he wa assured that both Billy and Steve would be seen at onee and persuaded to explain and satisfactorily arrange mat ters before the campaign had further advanced and irretrievable mischief been done. Willapa Harbor Pilot PART NOW EN ROUTE. Two carloads of that famous TeiTn Cotta, from Lincoln, Cel., for which the county court debonairely paid out the sum of $20,000 are now en route to Astoria, one having left there on Thursday evening last, and the other on Friday, and there are fourteen more to be shipped here. The freight bill for this stuff will aggregate $100 or $1500, and the handling, storing and insuring of the whole costly purchase, will add another $1000, to the extraordinary bill already paid. 0 0000000000000000 O PERSONAL MENTION. 0 0 0000000000000000 T.

Logged-off Land May be Utilized at Big Profit It ha lii-nenillv Iteen taken for granted that the logged-off land of tlit- lion were vehicle for any pur Me. until cleared, and that the laW nd expense of getting them in a fit condition for cultivation wa greater than their actual worth. So prevalent ha been thi belief that it is a rare thing to w-e Mich land cleared, and there are now thouiand of acne in thi immediate ricgigliborhood lying idle and deolnte, given tip a practically worth- let.., iut because the timber that once covered them liai Wn cut away, when. if lalMir and money were expended up on them, they could I made Into great wealth producer ever greater than the value of their original forest growth. There i not sn acre of these logged off land-, that will not produce enor moil crop of blackberries, and that I.hi. without any further clearing. Kven the hilU. which could hardly lie ued for aiciiltural purpose at any time will giviw thec lurries in such large quiintiiie. that the man who has the foreight to secure control of the-e now unite area, and to turn them into Ih itv rmtche. 1 certain to come out iiiiii-r. The iuxftmetit of a few thousand dol lar" in a well-equipped winery, nml the sowiiik' of n few hundred acres of thec iipnoredlv ttorthh" hind in black bcrrie- to be converted into wines and braiulv, would mean certain wealth to tin imrtv enua-'cd in such an enter- pli-e . The actual expense involved in the growing of liliukbcrtic-. on these lands ix one of labor, for the berries will trow wild when once the seed is scat tered, and will continue to increase their yields for many years. It is only neees sary to watt a couple of years for the flr-t crop and after that the returns are certain. It requires no experience at the Mart and but little capital to keep it up. while the revenue will continue tn increase vear after year. If this berry urowing business should be en gaged into any considerable extent around Montesano. it is probable that some experienced parties could be in dueed to build a winery here for the purpose of handling the crop, especially if assured of a sufficient quantity of berries to keep such an enterprise run ning through the season Both Evergreen and Logan varieties of blackberries will do well here, and they are known to be just what wine men require for their use. Hera is an opportunity to make money out of land that everybody has been condemning as useless. Who will be the first to take advantage of it! Vidette CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. There will be an important session of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce nt the Bond-street rooms tonight, when matters of importance will be submit ted and disposed of.

Weteru Washington hirigle mills eloped Wednesday night to remain mI.,,1 .tf.u-ii frir Itt'n U'i.i,L-M Ttiiii i.olirii ' wn decided upon nt a meeting of the trustees of the Slilnjlc Mills Bureau, hehl Saturday in Seattle. Practically all of the shingle mills of any import-HtK-e in the state shut down their mills ami will iiuike no more nhinglc for the eilMling two week. At the inn meeting of the shingle manufacturer a week iigo in Seattle the mill owner voted to close their plant for two weeks if the triMee of the Shingle Mills Bureau, after making an iiive-itigiitiou, should declare it to be advisable. Saturday eleven of the fifteen mem ber of the runt ccs of the bureau met in Seattle, representing all of the shingle eountie of the state excepting Whatcom. The two Whatcom trustee telegraphed that !) per cent of the Whatcom county mills were ready to close if the Imard decided it was neces sary. It was shown that a number of brokers have order for nearly 1000 ear of shingles, in all, which they took evei I months ago at a low figure, below the bureau price and expecting to break the market. Xone of these orders, it i tateL have been placeed with the mills and so many being taken off the market caused a temporary weakening in the demand and every probability of a slump, in prices for which the brokers wera working by every means in their power, issuing cut li-t. both to the mills and the Kastern trade. Eeports received from every shingle county indicated a willingness to close for two week-. Iractically all of the mills that shut down during the winter and a number of the large plants which refuM-d to shut down at that time, but have since joined the bureau all sent notice of a willingne to shut down Bv iiniinimoti vote the trustees of the bureau therefore derided tfi order a shutdown for two week, beginning Wednesday night, May 1(5. The opiniou is expressed by members of the board of trustees of the bureau that the shut down, which will greatly curtail the shingle supply, will have the effect of immediately stiffening prices ami will maintain the bureau price of tM.HO for star, at the mill for the bal ance of the year. Willapa Harlior Pilot WHAT BAILEY PRAYED FOR. Texas Senator's Petition May be An swered in Full. I wond feel that we were reaching an era in this devoted land where men are to be indeed bv how thev act and what they think, rather than by what they have; when intellect, and not fortune, when conduct, more than birth, should be the measure of our esteem, and when an honest fame should be the goal toward which our ambitions youth should be taught to toil and hope. Mr. President, I am one of tlue-c who believe that such time may come of coitr.e. I am not so Minple-minded as to dream that, the old davs of small for- tunes and great contentment will ever come again to bless the land, but I do believe in the coming of a better day than this, when the man who knows that he is jut and honest will feel that he is happier in his circumstances than the man whose riches have been cor rupted through injustice. I pray for the time to come when we shall have a new standard to guide our children; when we shall teach them that justice is better than power, and lead them into the ennobling faith that truth shall conquer falsehood in every land where peace abides and in every land where men are free. Under the influence of higher ideals and' more un selfish aspirations all hate and envy will vanish from our minds, and the only evil thought which still must TO us will be the malice which the bad u shall forever feel toward the good. When conduct instead of fortune is made the rule by which we judge all men every boy in the land, no matter how humble his parentage, or how limited his op portunity, will feel the thrill of hope, and the carpenter's son will know that if only he is just, brave and honest he will be more respected than the son of any millionaire who ever wasted his father's fortune in idle dissipation or foiled his father's name by gross ex cesses.

Wi Astoria's Reliable Clothier CXX3COCOOCOOOOOOOOOO OUT OF HER COURSE. As the bie Portland excursion on the Astoria &. Columbia River Railroad en tered Sea.ide yesterday during the noon hour, the people aboard were treated to the sight of a passing schooner, and before they were well off tbe train, the whole populace, visitors and all. were made aware of the fact that the turn W laden stranger was well within Tillamook Head and off her course. She had worked in so far she could not make her way out, and did the next best thing, came far enough in for a lea, dropped her canvas and let go her an chor. She wa a two-master, and painted black, with a good deck load, and as nothing of that sort has gone from here during the past forty-eight hour, it i almost certain she hails from Cray's Harbor or somewhere fur ther north. She was riding easily at sundown, and it is hoped she will get clear by this morning and make a safe offing. Later. The gasoline schooner Berw ick which . left out over the Columbia car ;auir - . day for Rogue River with a load of lumlier, wa compelled to seek refuge out of the wind liehind the shelter of Tillamook head. She was anchored just outide the breakers and the large Sun day crowd at Seaside was considerably worked up for awhile, thinking that something had gone wrong and the schooner would be washed upon tne beach. At no time was the vessel in danger and later in the evening was reported to have lifted her anchors and proceeded on down the coast FUNERAL TODAY.. .' The funeral of the late.
